When Mary’s mental illness puts herself and her family in jeopardy, her husband and son helplessly watch as she’s torn from them by the police. Forced to raise a boy on his own, father and son learn what it is to truly be a family.
Drawn from his own turbulent childhood with a schizophrenic mother, Joseph Greco’s affecting drama is a thorny tale of familial love in the face of debilitating mental illness. Shot in the director’s hometown, the film emphasizes the cathartic power of artmaking that triumphs in times of adversity.
